Discover Siuro

Siuro has preserved much of its original village landscape. When planning your stay, nature, water and village culture can offer different points of focus: Hakavuori provides views of the lake and river, at Siuronkoski the landscape meets industrial history, and the narrow streets of Siuronkallio pass old wooden houses and attractive courtyards.

Rock, nature and village paths

Hakavuori is a slate rock formation with views of Lake Kulovesi and the Nokianvirta River. The Hakavuori Nature Trail is 0.8 kilometres long and rated as an easy trail. Five information boards cover local nature and geology. The length, difficulty rating and boards give you a concrete idea of what this trail offers: a short route with insights into the landscape and its natural and geological features.

Siuronkallio offers a different perspective on the village landscape. The narrow village streets invite you to stroll past old wooden houses and attractive courtyards. Together with the preserved original village landscape, these houses and courtyards shape the character of the area. While Hakavuori draws your gaze to the surroundings with its two named viewpoints, Siuronkallio puts the established streetscape at the centre.

Siuronkoski and the harbour

Siuronkoski is a notable attraction, with old power station buildings and stone bridges. Paths along the river allow you to stroll by the water. Anglers have plenty of opportunities to catch rainbow trout, zander and asp. The fishing area is easily accessible and has clear paths and resting places. The rapids at Siuronkoski are also suitable for paddling. These activities offer different ways to experience the river landscape: walking, fishing and paddling each provide a distinct perspective.

Siuro Harbour is on Lake Kulovesi, next to Siuronkoski. It has 29 berths at two piers and 13 onshore storage spaces for small boats. The west side of the western pier is reserved for occasional visitor moorings. If you are planning a boating trip, you can take this allocation of berths and onshore storage into account; the stated capacities describe the harbour, not the availability of any individual space.

History, art and events

The Knuutila Manor area is among the oldest inhabited areas in Pirkanmaa; its history dates back to the 15th century. Knuutila Manor hosts a range of public events. The main building is used mainly as a venue for events, brunches and celebrations. Its historical background and present-day use offer two distinct points of interest for visitors interested in history or events.

The art on offer also spans different themes. Ossi Somma’s sculpture park features dozens of sculptures. The Ossi Somma Studio Building and Mini Gallery are open by appointment. The Mini Gallery in the Studio Building displays a collection of miniature sculptures and drawings from Somma’s school years. An appointment is part of planning your visit.

Siuron Koski-Teatteri runs an open-air theatre by the riverbank near the rapids in summer. The summer performances complement the permanent attractions with a seasonal cultural offering. If a performance is important to your travel plans, it is advisable to check the event dates in advance.

Whether you would like to focus your stay on Hakavuori’s natural and geological features, the opportunities around the river and harbour, or village history, art and events, Siuro offers a range of themes to explore.
